Feast your eyes on Perseid meteor shower tonight

If you missed last night’s Perseid meteor shower, don’t fret: stargazers can continue to feast their eyes tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

According to EarthSky.org, the window for early morning dark skies – needed to see the most meteors in the annual Perseid shower – is closing. But meteor rates between tonight and Wednesday night will be higher.

“But there will be more moon in the sky, and it’ll drown the fainter meteors in its glare. Luckily, the Perseids are known to produce more fireballs than any other annual shower, and a fireball in the light of a bright supermoon will be a beautiful sight,” EarthSky.org reports.

The full supermoon, the largest moon this year, came on Sunday night lighting up the sky.
